Its pretty obvious that if you Sam has been under a lot of pressure the last 2 weeks and that is the main reason for his bad performances.

If your O-line plays as bad as they have, it won’t matter who is QB, RB or OC.

Now look at him, cut from his cushy job of making $1.3 Million for holding the clipboard for Eli for all but 8 plays all season.

The Rams are almost as pathetic as the Jags.

Hillis TB. watching the game Thursday. Richardson is a good back. but he runs east west. and won’t cut back. if he was cutting back he’ld hit pay dirt. they are young and following their blockers even without holes. Its Turner otr Hillis or bust

The staff refuses to let Bradford play to his strengths in a hurry up offense. The execution falls on players (especially bad drops the past two games) but damn if those play calls weren’t pitiful. One more 5 yard hook route and I might puke.

Seems as if Bradford would be a better fit in Philly.

Considering he’s had multiple coordinators, poor talent around him and battling a brutal schedule thus far, he’s proven he’s not the problem

The issues are:

1) No running game. Its time for Zac Stacy – cant be any worse.

2) Yes, Shotty…..unimaginative play calling, slow starts and a total misuse of Austin. This guy was a hot Head Coaching candidate last year?

3) Defense.

4) Penalties

The talk around talk radio here in the Lou ( when not revolving about the 2013 WS Champion Cardinals ) is Mike Martz returning.

After choking down vomit, I thought…….why not?

I’d like to see that, actually.

If Missouri fans want to see a improved team, go west!

If you let Jeff Fisher stick around for 5 more years, he should get you into the playoffs by default at some point while his media buddies tell you how great of a coach he is. He went 7-9 last year, sounds like his 4-12 season is on tap this year, and then he can get you back to 8-8 for a couple of years before Seattle and SF start slowing down so he can pounce for an 11-5 type season to reaffirm how “good” of a coach he is. That is, if the Ram ownership would be as gracious as Bud Adams was to let him keep skating while everybody blames you for his underachievement.

Half his balls last night were lame ducks in the air. He’s got nothing other than maybe semi accurate short throws. Doesn’t help their braintrust couldn’t find an offensive playmaker if he punched them in the face. Decent TE but no RB, WR’s or O-line.

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 20:04:10 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2213260#comment-2825169Certainly everyone is entitled to their opinions.

What is amazing is even many of those hundreds of thousands of us who have played organized football over the past 10 years have abandoned their basic understanding of how football works.

In the Rams, Cardinals, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Minnesota, Pittsburgh and other under performing teams, the first place to fix is always the foundations – the offensive line and the defensive line.

Where the Rams are concern, it is easy to see the offensive line is performing very, very low compared to last season. Even Peyton Manning would have an extremely difficult time executing any offense when the offensive line is not doing their basic jobs or run blocking or pass blocking.

It all starts up front. Always have and always will. Blame those who under-perform. That’s the American way.

Sam Bradford is terrible.

He’s a 70 million dollar quarterback who doesn’t make his teammates better. He should be exceptional by now. He has never once had a seriously dominant, “Sam Bradford has arrived!” game. He might never have it.

Schottenheimer IS terrible but he doesn’t have a lot to work with at QB (and didn’t have anything to work with in Mark Sanchez either, but Sanchez’s requiem has been sung enough)

All the man would do would call power running plays, a play action pass, and a quick slant. It would be like a youth football league offense out there. St Louis has no RB, and no power running game to make teams respect PA. Tavon has been disappointing, but hasn’t been getting a lot of PT. Braddy isn’t very good, but the defense doesn’t respect the run so the PA passes and slants don’t work like they should.

I think they need to worry about the future because as bad as it is now, they might be locking up a lot more money in Bradford soon and that could make things even trickier than they are today.

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 19:37:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2213260#comment-2825110As a Ram’s fan let me break this mess down for you- we suck at everything! We have had one brightspot this year and that’s our rookie LB Alec Ogletree. Let’s start with the defense-Tim Walton was a horrible hire as DC. He has implimented a soft zone coverage that gives every wr plenty of room to make catches. Our corners also sometimes get burned on a deep route and there is zero over-the-top help from the safeties. Cortland Finnegan has stunk all year and will probably get released at the end of the year. Now onto the offense-Schotty needs to be canned as well. He is obsessed with running the most vanilla offense possible which is heavily predicated on the run game. Just a small problem with that-The Ram’s have NO running game so he is content on throwing dink and dunk passes even though he has 2 of the fasted wr’s in the game in Givens and Austin. Onto Bradford-I’m done making excuses to my friends about him. He shows no passion on the field and is a deer-in-the-headlights when he sees the slightest passrush which leads me to the O-line. They can’t block anyone and Jake Long is horribly overmatched most weeks. Finally for Mr.Fisher- Quit being stubborn about running the no huddle! Bradford is obviously most comfortable running it and it has proven to be pretty successful when they have ran it. If I’ve missed anything please feel free to chime in. That is all!
